What Is PaaS (Platform as a Service)?

Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) is a popular cloud computing model that provides essential application development and management resources on the cloud. It allows users to access tools like servers, networks, databases, OS, storage, VMs, and more without having to set them up or install them. PaaS adoption has been growing rapidly due to its numerous benefits such as reduced code development, automation capabilities, increased productivity, resource abundance, easy remote access, effective SDLC management, automated API development, IoT tool support, DevOps integration, simplified cloud migration, and improved security practices. The industry is expected to continue evolving with new trends like flexible adoption for remote work models, expansion of integration with third-party tools, increased demand for managed PaaS services, and potential native support for emerging technologies like AI, IoT, and blockchain.
